I got an email from the surgery scheduler at Dr. Bauman/Dr. Pirello's office last Friday and she said that she had gotten my ok from insurance and that she would be contacting me later to schedule my date. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to call you back? I want to get this done and over with. Patience is not my virtue. Angie

i know how you feel..im waiting now..i know im already approved.my doc will not even see you if you are not a canidate, so they call your ins first than they get you an appt.but my 1st appt is march 22..id go tomorrow if they would let me linda
Took me about 3 or 4 days. It depends on how many others were approved. It takes a while to schedule because, she gives you dates but has to check with the hospital afterwards to make sure they are gonna work out and all. She has to call you back after about an hour to confirm everything she told you is still correct. It sucks to wait. It made me insane. Fortunately this is the last of it until surgery. Melissa

Hi Angie, We are in the same boat! I was approved for surgery by UHC on March 1, 2007, received my confirmation letter on March 7, and my appointment with Dr. Farrell to schedule my surgery is March 26th! Try and be patient dear. Remember that all things happen in God's perfect timing. Please let us know when your surgery date is and I will post mine as well on the 26th. Blessings, Diane in Haw River, NC
